Broad keywords (10)

Short, competitive terms. Best for board names and the opening words of a title.

Long-tail keywords (18)

Specific phrases typed by someone who knows what they want. Best for pin titles.

Seasonal keywords (10)

Time-bound phrases. Publish these 45 to 60 days before the season or holiday.

Product and shopping keywords (10)

Phrases close to a purchase. Best on product, affiliate and shop listing pins.

Gift guides are the most commercial part of Christmas on Pinterest. Gift keywords work best when they name the recipient and a constraint, such as gifts for dad who has everything or stocking stuffers for teens, rather than a generic gift ideas title.

How to use these keywords in titles, descriptions and board names

Split Christmas content into decor, gifts, food and activities, and schedule each wave in the order people plan it. Gift keywords need a recipient; decor keywords need a room or style; recipe keywords need the dish. A single generic Christmas board is far weaker than four or five specific ones.

Pinterest keywords for christmas: FAQ

When should I start pinning Christmas content?

Many creators start in September or early October for decor and gift guides, and keep recipes and last minute ideas running into December. Check Pinterest Trends for your keywords to see when interest starts rising.

Should I repin last year's Christmas pins?

Yes, but also make fresh images. Old pins can keep working, and new designs for the same posts give Pinterest new content to show without changing your links.

Which Christmas keywords suit shop owners?

Recipient based gift phrases, stocking stuffers, personalized gifts and Christmas pajamas are close to buying. Put them on product pins that link straight to the listing.
